I take a table in a hidden field, so i want to retrieve that fiel as a CSV, obviusly with the headers but the problem is that when i return the headers i just get an empty file so my question is how can i do to pass the variable with the info in order to download the CSV?

I'm a bit confused to what you exactly want to do, I read a lot of actions in your question.

Start: you have a table with rows of data.
-- some interaction in between --
Final result: you want to download this table as a CSV file.

Correct? So you want to know how you convert a table into CSV, and how you download the resulting CSV?

i get my table with an variable with Input::post(), the problem is that i dont know how make that variable info downloable cause i dont see the way i can return a response with the headers and this info, i tried but it just gives me an empty CSV file

What is in that variable? You can't stick a "table" in a variable? The name of the table? And how big is this table? Any special requirements to the format of the CSV file?

thanks for your reply but i already fixed it, the thing is that i use a jquery pluging to get the table in an input, and the way i used to get a downloable CSV of that data was this:

$headers = array (

'Content-Type' => 'text/csv; charset=utf-8',

'Pragma' => 'no-cache',

'content-disposition' => "attachment; filename='clicks.csv'"

);

$csv = Input::post('csv_text');

$response = new Response($csv, 200, $headers);

return $response;

That is an option. File::download() would have been another one.

I just had trouble understanding what you wanted, and this doesn't really help. I have data in CSV format, and I past that into a form, so I can get the same data returned to me as a file when I submit the form?
Why not just open the file locally, paste the data in, and save? Still puzzled about the use-case... ;-)
